Winter Olympics - Sochi 2014

final day of the Olympics and the final medals to be decided in the gold medal game between Canada v Sweden in the mens ice hockey starting around midday

Sochi - a city to embrace the Olympic rings
Sticks, pucks, boards and skis such drama brings

Human spirit tested to its core
Technique and pressure demand no flaw

To conquer the twists and turns of every slope
Climb and descend the mountain of your every hope

To attain perfect landing after jumping so far
To leave no window of opportunity left ajar

To spin and rotate with effortless grace
Ice dance agility with its human face

To cast every skate through glistening ice
Be a victim of referee interpretation and pay undue price

With the stakes so high in the balance lay dreams
Competing solo or within your teams

Opening pinnacle for Britain from 'The Jones'
From her glory of bronze to Muirhead stones

All eyes transfixed on every curl down the ice sheet
The medal destiny would once more be one to meet

Murdoch with the hammer twice to create chance for Gold
But third time lucky not to be as Canada class told

Lay face down on a winter freeze tray
For most mere mortals a fate to pray

Intense velocity as our Lizzy comes hurtling down
Our abiding memory, our Winter wonder crown

So as the flame of Olympiad must move from the Russian snow
We say farewell to the grandest of all sporting show

Carry the torch to a Samba beat
Sun, sea and sand of a Rio treat

Inspire a generation was the London call
For every Olympian must stand tall.

see you went for Rio for the summer and not korea for the winters haha mind you what rhymes with PyeongChang

enjoyed the gold medal game in the ice hockey today, especially when my team I support Manchester Storm/Phoenix got mentioned in the commentary of the game

Have to say im enjoying the Paralympics tell you got to be even more nuts than the able bodied to do some of the skiing events like the sit down ski or the visually impared skiing. mind you we seem to be good at it got a gold and silver and bronze in the last couple of days

the sledge icehockey is even more brutal than its able bodied equivilent

Gold Medallists, Kelly Gallagher & guide Charlotte Evans :



Kelly is from Co.Down, N.I. and is visually impaired - she can make out the orange bib of her guide skier, and receives instructions from her through an ear-piece.

See the Scottish curlers came 11th out of 12 in the world championships

Serously which Fuckwit held the trials for the worlds during the bloody olympics so Eve muirhead and the girls the defending world champions couldnt take part
